You must pair the protected and recovery sites created using your vSphere Client to enable Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) to discover the storage systems.

What you will need

  • You must have installed Site Recovery Manager (SRM) on the protected and recovery sites.

  • You must have installed SRA on the protected and recovery sites.

About this task

SnapMirror fan-out configurations are those where a source volume is replicated to two different destinations. These create a problem during recovery when SRM needs to recover the virtual machine from destination.

Note Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) does not support fan-out SnapMirror configurations.

Steps

  1. Double-click Site Recovery on the vSphere Client home page, and then click Sites.

  2. Click Objects > Actions > Pair Sites.

  3. In the Pair Site Recovery Manager Servers dialog box, enter the address of the protected site's Platform Services Controller, and then click Next.

  4. In the Select vCenter Server section, do the following:

    1. Verify that the protected site's vCenter Server appears as a matching candidate to pair.

    2. Enter the SSO administrative credentials, and then click Finish.

  5. If prompted, click Yes to accept the security certificates.

Result

Both the protected and recovery sites will appear in the Objects dialog box.
